Story Behind the Batuk Bhairabh
When these three gods disagreed about who was the best of them, Lord Shiva manifested himself as the angry Bhairabh to frighten Brahma and Bishnu away. Brahma's five heads are thought to have been severed by Shiva when the latter countered that Brahma was superior because he was the Creator.
Batuk Bhairav was created, according to the historic document Shakti Sangam from the Kali Khanda canon, to slay the demonic Aapad who received a potent blessing from Brahma. Aapad abused his power to wreak destruction on the earth, in hell, and in Heaven.
Gods who were furious with the devil for his crimes pooled their powers to produce a five-year-old kid. Batuk Bhairabh was the boy, a living representation of time and space. Due to his boon, Aapad could not be killed in the present, past, or future. As a result, Batuk briefly stopped time, dismembered Aapad, and saved the entire living thing.
